“We’ve talked about Tech’s 2-3

girls] are aware of [Tech’s] personnel.
They know that Alicia Thompson's
one of the best players in the Big 12.
“Yes, you have to contain her,
but then you have to worry about
Renee Hanebutt, Julie Lake and
Keitha Dickerson. We’re going to
have to play good
team defense.
Thompson’s going to
get her points. What
you have to do is
make sure no one
else steps up their
game and plays
above their ability.”
The lone starting
senior for A&M, 6-
foot-1 forward
Melissa Rollerson,
said it is important
not to worry about Tech’s relent
less attack.
“We’re just going to have fun and
play hard,” Rollerson said. "That’s all
you can do. They have too many key
players and any one of them can take
the game over and beat you.
“We just want to put ourselves in
a situation in the last two minutes
to win the game.”
Losing Tucker for the season
makes an already youth-laden
team younger. The roster is now
comprised of one senior, one ju
nior, and seven underclassmen.

Jordan said the younger players
must step up their play now more

“We’re three-quarters of the
way through our season,” Jordan
said. “It’s time they stop thinking
of themselves as freshmen and
start considering themselves up
perclassmen.
"Hopefully there will be one or
two people who will say, ‘Hey, I need
to step it up.’ If not for their team,
then, T’m going to do it for Lana.’”

Head ’Em Up and Move ’Em Out
The Lady Aggies are undefeated (6-0) when ahead
at the half. Six of the team’s eight wins this season have
come when the Lady Aggies, fast out of the gates, led
going into the locker room.
On the flip side, the Lady Aggies, not perennial fa
vorites for “comeback team of the year,” have only
erased a first-half deficit twice in 13 tries.
Dishin’ It Out
Sophomore guard Kerrie Patterson has taken the
advice of Head Coach Candi Harvey to heart. In try
ing to “make something happen,” Patterson has un
selfishly spread the ball around the floor.
Through 21 games this season, Patterson has post
ed a team-high 65 assists (3.1 avg.). In conference
play, Patterson has handed out 45 assists (4.5 avg.),
which ties her for second in the conference.
